Well, that's that for my Gencon.

We now have a schedule for the biopsy for Babe; the soonest they could fit her in was next Thursday. I told Scott to schedule it. That's the first day of Gencon proper. I didn't really expect to be going anyway, due to my worries and wanting one of us here to take care of Babe. I figured I'd know for sure today or tomorrow, and now I do.

Scott's going to go ahead and go to Gencon. He enjoys it more than I do, and he's a lot broader in what he enjoys game-wise, which makes his life easier as far as getting into things. (This year, I only got into five games I wanted. Four of them were the on-going Game Base 7 7th Sea games, and I'm sorry to miss those, but it's not like I got a lot of variety. Event registration hated me this year, and I was facing a con of generics, not my favorite thing anyway.) If the news about Babe is bad, he can have fun and distract himself - I would ruin the whole con for myself being upset and wanting to be with my kitty.

So Thursday I'll take Babe in, and then call Scott to give him the news and discuss whatever the options are with him. If it's bad news, I'll miss having him here to hug, but not enough to make it worth canceling his trip. Hopefully it will at least be mediocre news; good news would be even better. (It's bad when a nasty swelling caused by a bacterial infection counts as 'good' news, but...it would.)

Still going to take the time off. I can use it to take care of myself, spoil myself, and get rest (better rest than a gaming con, if less excitement). And I may even get stuff done around the house, if I feel like it. Hm. And I could go to the Obon celebration that I was sorry it was during Gencon. It looks like they're open-reservation, they just want notice. I have wanted to go to that, and two years running it's been on Gencon; so now, I can go. I may sign up for the moonviewing in September, too. I haven't decided.

More photos, just new shirts this time.

Three shirts - Scott did a couple photos tonight where I just got into them long enough to show them.

Today's shirt for work. Less inspired cut (though I love the color), but at $1.50 it's not a bad deal. A woman in our sister company, who has seen me the past several weeks several times, commented that "hey, you're finally in maternity wear" when she saw it. I actually thought the earlier shirts looked more like maternity wear and less like oversized normal shirts (and I know I ran into her while wearing at least yesterday's, maybe Monday's also). Oh well!

A black shirt that I got for $5 because I liked it too much to leave it. That's always the risk.

And the third shirt, the only one I bought that needed some alteration to make me happy with it (not a repair of damage, just a reworking of the neckline, and within what I could hand-sew). I'm not sure which of two shirts on the receipt this was, it was either $2.13 or $2.50.
